Chapter 379: The Future

"Actually, I'd like to know, did you kill Emiya Shirou for liberation, or do you really regret what you did in the past?" Goofy looked at the Valhalla Palace and said, there are many reasons to kill yourself in the past, but which one is true.

"Relief? Rider, what the hell are you talking about? Emiya Shirou was puzzled by Goofy's words, what the hell could he be freed by killing him.

"It's very simple, Emiya Shirou is different from the traditional Heroic Spirit, he is a Heroic Spirit who signed a contract with Alayya, and such a Heroic Spirit has a different name, and that is the Guardian."

"Rin Tosaka should know that as the inhibition of the planet, there are two existences, one is the planetary consciousness Gaia, which exists for the purpose of protecting the planet, and the other is the collective consciousness of mankind, Alayya.

"Normal heroic spirits, like Saber and the like, are praised heroes who are actually under the dual management of Gaia and Alaye, but they generally belong to Gaia. These Heroic Spirits will serve as the ultimate beings to defend the planet, with high treatment, except for no freedom. After all, human beings rely on the planet to survive, and Alaya is born to rely on Gaia for his existence. ”

"Another type of Heroic Spirit is more interesting, and one of the common characteristics of this type of Heroic Spirit is that they have saved too many human beings, and even changed the course of the world in some way. But their deeds are not known, or only a very small number of people know, and do not form legends that belong to them. For such an existence, even Alaya had to sigh at what they had done for humanity, at the time of the death of the other party. An invitation to become a Heroic Spirit will be made to them, once they accept. will become a Heroic Spirit, become a Guardian. ”

"But it's not the same as the heroic spirits who sing. The status of the Guardian is much lower, because Alayah's job is to prevent humanity from self-destructing, and for this, it can be said that any existence that threatens the existence of humanity will be ruthlessly obliterated, and the person who strikes is the Guardian. ”

"Emiya Shirou, what is your ideal?" Goofy suddenly asked Emiya Shirou.

"What's wrong with being a partner in justice?" Emiya Shirou said his ideals. There was a hint of hesitation in his words, not because his ideals were not firm, but because there was still Rin Tosaka here, and such an ideal could not help but make people feel too naïve.

"Then the appearance of Archer means that you have indeed become a partner of justice in the future, and you have achieved your ideals, otherwise, you would not have become a guardian."

Goofy's words made Emiya Shirou look at Archer fixedly, and the two looked very different at first glance. Whether it is skin color or body, there are too many differences, but when he knows that the other party is his future self, Emiya Shirou can clearly see his own shadow from the other party's body. It's an amazing feeling.

"Emiya Shirou, you know what? Guardians exist to kill people, to erase any human being who might threaten the existence of humanity. Do you know what happens when such a mission collides with your ideals? ”

"Kill. Constant killing, the Guardian cannot be a force to resist and suppress. All those you think can be saved, will be obliterated by your own hands, and even because you are a modern-day Heroic Spirit, you will be more stealthy and unobtrusive, and thus loved by the inhibiting forces, you say, Archer. Goofy turned his words at Valhalla, his face now no longer strong, but full of unspeakable sadness.

"That's right, that's it, killing people day after day, from assassination to war, because of my ability, I can perfectly disguise some of the disguises into conflicts, whether it is an old man or a child, whether it is a bad person or a good person, until the killing is numb and summoned by Rin." Archer's words affirm Goofy's claims, while also revealing his brutal past and Emiya's future.

Just thinking about this fact makes people feel cruel, the original ideal of saving humanity is controlled by inhibition and has become a tool for killing humanity, which cannot be shaken off and never ends.

"That's why you want to kill me?" There was a little tremor in Emiya's words, and instead of resenting Archer, he grieved for his fate.

"There are reasons for that, but not all, you know? How the hell did I die? ”

"In the past, I also participated in the Holy Grail War, Sakura died, Illya died, Katsuki-sensei died, Shinji Makiri died, Rin Tosaka was seriously injured and dying, and finally died soon after being infected by the curse, but I survived in the end. At that time, I was so naïve, and I didn't succeed in saving anyone. ”

"After that, I embarked on the path of becoming a partner in justice, and on this path, I had to kill a small number of people in order to save the majority of people without expecting anything in return, and such a thing was unavoidable."

"I saved more and more people, but what I did was not understood, and even those I saved thought that I was the culprit who caused the war, and in the end I was betrayed by my own companions and sent to the gallows by the people I saved."

"If that's the case, I wouldn't regret it, but when I found out that I became a Heroic Spirit, I had to kill a small number of people in order to save most of them, Emiya Shirou, do you think that such a self is still a partner of justice?" Valhalla's words were tinged with a hint of sadness.

"This kind of behavior of sacrificing a small number of people in order to save the majority of people is certainly not a righteous partner, a righteous partner, it is to save everyone." Emiya Shirou said firmly.

"That's right, from the very beginning, I went astray, I thought it was my own lack of ability, I had to kill a small number of humans in exchange for the vast majority of people to be saved, but in fact, this approach is very similar to the practice of suppression, the difference is only the number of killings."

"That's why I'm going to kill you, your future is also my future, in order not to put yourself on such a doomed path, in order to free yourself, as long as you kill the past, the future will not exist, but I didn't expect that this world has been different from the past from the beginning, just like this mysterious Rider, who will not appear at all in the future." Archer looked at Goofy with a slight difference in his eyes, whether it was complicated or feeling, which was impossible to see.

"But you don't have to worry, since the past has changed, then the future will also change, I won't kill you." Archer made a promise to Emiya Shirou.

"But there are some things I have to do, I'm sorry, Rin." Valhalla apologized to Rin, and a strangely shaped dagger-shaped treasure appeared in his hand.

"What are you going to do, Archer!" Rin watched Archer's movements, and felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Valhalla stabbed this treasure at herself, and the huge magic power shone on Valhalla's body, and the last spell in Rin Tosaka's hand disappeared, and Archer, cut off the contract with his own hands.

Without waiting for Rin Tosaka's reaction, the figure of the Valhalla Palace disappeared on the rooftop in an instant, he had his own things to do, and he had to do them.

Rin Tosaka lost his qualification as Master the day after the Holy Grail War officially began. (To be continued......)
